From the moment we checked in at reception, we had the best experience, staff, facilities, food all at a very high standard. There is also a fabulous walk around the full estate which is a perfect way to start or finish your day. Kilkenny town is only 5 mins away and offers a variety of activities to keep young and old entertained.

FAQs about hotels in Kilkenny

Craic Larger Than Medieval Life

Spirited Kilkenny was Ireland’s capital in the Middle Ages and although many monuments remain from back then, it’s now best known for the 'craic'. Kilkenny cream ale flows in pubs forming part of its legendary nightlife and tours of Smithwick’s showcase Ireland’s oldest operating brewery, on grounds containing the St Francis Abbey ruins.

Kilkenny has the most medieval churches in Ireland. Dating to the 13th-century are the Black Abbey and St Canice’s Cathedral, next to the Round Tower - the only remains of a 9th-century monastery founded by the saint.

Medieval streets, inns and wall remnants still stand, but the most impressive attraction is Kilkenny Castle, in large gardens by the River Nore. The 3-turreted fortress was a former home of the once powerful Butler family.

The Parade leads from here past high street shops to The Tholsel – the porticoed town hall. The Elizabethan merchants’ residence Rothe House is in a similar style. Wandering the colourful streets you can’t fail to notice buildings named after cats, a reference to the residents’ dogged determination. Local hurling team The Cats play at Nowlan Park, and the city hosts the annual Cat Laughs comedy festival, amongst others.

Booking.com’s Kilkenny accommodation includes hotels with spas and pools, and city centre guest houses near the train station.

    Smithwick’s experience was great..

    Smithwick’s experience was great.. Very easy to find parking for our rental car. Sullivan’s experience was equally interesting - great food. Visit of the medieval town along with his numerous shops was quite something… Overall the friendliness of the Irish people was memorable. Great review for sure.

    lovely walking town with magical castles, cathedrals and history. Walking Tours a must in this town if you want the learn the history. great pubs, restaurants and shops. If you are active you can see it all in a day..better to relax and enjoy it over two days in my opinion.

    Beautiful city with tonnes of history and pretty much everything is within walking distance if you’re someone who’s older or has limited mobility. Everyone I met in the town were warm and friendly. Kilkenny castle being the obvious standout but the wee design area just across from the castle with all the bespoke shops are run by characters and very talented people! If you’re looking for a more relaxed, go at your own pace with tonnes of history then Kilkenny is perfect for a one to two nights getaway

    A lovely city with lots of charm, dining options, live music, history, and plenty of sights for a weekend getaway. Hidden gem: the butler house and gardens for a little break. The locals seemed quite friendly. A good option to visit with a family or otherwise.

    Nice atmosphere in Kilkenny with lots of choice for shopping. Kilkenny Castle was lovely. Plenty of good restaurants to choose from also. Staff helpful in shops. Parking charges weren’t too expensive either and not that hard to get around with the help of Google maps!

    The hotel provided everything we wanted. The rooms were so nicely decorated, very different from the standard hotel room. Loved the attention to detail! The staff was very friendly, parking is included and the city centre is only a 25 min walk away. We had such a great time using the hotel as our base and doing trips from here. Can really recommend this place!
